Tried to run iTunes update and now my libary is corrupt.

My iTunes was too outdate to sync with my iPod. I couldn't get it to run updates or force an update so I downloaded iTunes again from apple website. After the download finished I installed new version. Now iTunes will not open and suggest that I need to run installer again. If I try to run installer it again it asks if I want to remove iTunes even though I'm clicking repair. I'm scared to do too much more with uninstalling etc because I would have to lose my libary. I do have everything on my iPod so if the libary is a goner is there a way to get it back to iTunes?

Uninstall iTunes and any other components from Apple. Reboot. Reinstall. Your library should be fine...
In the unnlikely event that there is a problem with the library, read on.... (Actually read the bit about backing up anyway!)
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I did the iTunes update and now I am getting a Windows error 126 message. Now I can't use iTunes at all. Any ideas?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync

Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync. Keeps saying I need 26gb of free space which it didn't say before I downloaded the update. It doesn't make sense. It keeps saying:
The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library. (additional 26gb required)
This makes no sense because before the new itunes update there was no problem with me not having enough space. I have 5gb of free space now and I had 5gb of free space before I downloaded the itunes update. Nothing should've changed. And I should not need an extra 26gb of space. How do i fix this problem so I can my ipod normally again.

Hello xtremejoe
I find that changing some settings in your syncing options will get syncing working again, like enabling Manually manage music and videos.

I attempted to update itunes (Windows 7) it didn't work, after several tries I uninstalled itunes completely, and now I cannot get it to reinstall correctly. help?

Had issues upon updating iTunes to newest version (11).
The display settings were not working, I tried to run it in compatibility mode for Windows 7 Service Pack 2, which i'm currently running.
Still had major issues, couldn't click anywhere on the iTunes window, the only thing I could click was file but even then the dropdown menu wasn't working correctly.
I tried several times to adjust my computers' settings to accomodate the new version, and still nothing worked.
I got fed up, and uninstalled the lastest version and now I am having trouble reinstalling.
I tried the latest version a few more times, and now when I click download on the site link, it doesn't even prompt the download window in Mozilla.
It doesn't create a location anywhere within my computer either.
I downloaded 10.7 in hopes of that maybe working, I figured because I haven't updated the iOS on my phone, and my computer is still a little behind that this might help, but it says,
"itunes library.itl cannot be read" and something to do with having a new version of the file already.
I just want to have some version of itunes on here, I still have Bonjour, though I think with the issues I am having the Software update must be gone along with any itunes program I previously had.
I cannot restore any previous versions because I haven't backed it up on to anything for quite some time.
I just want to manage my iPhone 4 again, and this is driving me nuts.
Any help is very appreciated,
thanks for reading.

The Problem is resolved by :
Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
Restart the computer.
Thanks to my friend Sunil.

Scroll down to "Update your device using iTunes" here:

If that doesn't work, you should restore your iPhone as described here. Note you may have to try to get into the restore state more than once to succeed.

I downloaded pictures to iTunes, the phone would not delete the pictures and then hung up after trying to download the updates and now its telling me I have to restore the phone.

My iPhone 5 had too many pictures stored on it. So I downloaded them to iPhoto after they were imported I click for it to delete the pictures from the phone. The pictures were never deleted and then the phone try to update to the new the new IOS even though I did not click for the phone to do this. I got an error saying the phone could not update and that I would have to restore the phone to factory settings. The phone is frozen and just talks to me when I try to do a function on the phone. And it hasn't restored or updated anything.
